[Veritas-bu] 6.5 linux client software help
Guys i'm being put under pressure by management to assist in a system, i've had nothing to do with design and build, to get a linux redhat client installed for NBU 6.5 As far as i can ascertain the master/media is a windows server. I'm a solaris engineer and know if the master were unix i could simply push the correct client software out to the linux client. With windows i assume this is not possible?? Which brings me to where to i get the linux 6.5 client software from? I don't have the media. On the symantec site i see various patches for 6.5.1 CLT containing all the client binaries, but this is normally installed on the unix server isn't it? Can this just be installed on a linux client as is with no previous version on it? Any pointers would be appreciated Dave ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] Best exclude list for Windows, solaris, linux ?
I currently have this as a starting point for windows i386 found.0* $NTUninstall* pagefile.sys TMP c:\winnt\temp c:\windows\temp C:\*\system32\perflib_perfdata_* *.tmp c:\*\*\Local Settings\Temp NTUSER.dat RECYCLER ..and this for unix. (solaris) /tmp core /proc /etc/mnttab /cdrom /var/run /dev/fd /var/tmp I saw a reply post saying you can put a file in \installpath\program files\veritas\netbackup called exclude_list with entries in. I know for unix you have /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list etc but wasn't aware the same could be done for windows is this true? I'm primarily a unix engineer but for windows i find creating a .reg file is useful for install purposes. cheers toaster wrote: Hi guys, I was wondering what was your exlude list on Windows client?

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5 linux client software help
Dave, The 6.5_CLIENTS2 tarball should be the one you need. That should be the one with the Linux client files in it (1 is HP-UX, AIX, etc. and 3 is mostly Solaris). The file you downloaded is the actual NetBackup installation for a master or media server. Once you install the client, then you would install the 6.5.X CLT and JAV patches. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 8:19 AM To: Spearman, David Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5 linux client software help Cheers i am just downloading NetBackup_6.5_Linux2.4.tar.gz from the fileconnect site after getting a serial number from the project manager.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading from Netbackup 6.0 32 bit to 6.5 64 bit
Hi Dario, If I'm not mistaking you must upgrade to 6.5 on you existing 6.0 install on 32 bit before you do a disaster recovery to you new server on 64bit. Reason for this is changes in EMM DB that you don't have with you when recovering the catalog form 6.0 to 6.5 directly.

We would then bring up the new 64 bit server (with Netbackup 6.5 installed) with the same name and ip address as the original server. At this point we restore the catalog from the old server to the new server. The restore finishes but we now get EMM 334 errors along with Cannot connect on socket errors and cannot access the database. Did I miss a step somewhere?

Re: [Veritas-bu] scsi interface error
could be any number of issues up the device first If using a fc to scsi converter (DON't) 1) Most cases I have seen was a cable or terminition improperly plugged in. Remove and reset 2) Check to see if you have bent pin or cable 3) Check the HBA card 4) Scsi request was hung from another process. May need to reboot server and library 5) If all these fail and still has an issue then call HW support on library and see if they can bring scsi analyzer in. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of mmuthuramkumar Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:02 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] scsi interface error hi what is meant for following error.

[Veritas-bu] Confusing disk staging methods
Hi folks, Could help to elaborate what are the differences scenarios apply between 1. Basic Disk staging 2. Storage Lifecycle Policies 3.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Confusing disk staging methods
Here are the basics: 1. Basic Disk Staging Backup to Disk First then a Destaging schedule duplicates the backup image to tape media. Once the image is successfully destaged to tape, it is then removed from the disk depending on how your low/high water marks are set. You need enough disk space with this though to basically store all your backups until the images can be successfully destaged. 2. Storage Lifecycle Policies Basically these define the backup/duplication relationships based on the level of the SLP defined in the policy. The nice thing about these is you define the schedule once and it handles it from there backing up and duplicating based on the directives in the policy. The caveat here is that you need Advanced Disk Staging units which means the Flexible Disk Option (Read ). This is basically Vault without the reporting/management functionality. 3. Multiple Copies When a backup runs, it makes multiple copies based on what you tell it. Think of it as multiple destinations for a backup at the time the policy runs. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of ssloh Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 9:00 PM To: veritas-bu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Confusing disk staging methods Hi folks, Could help to elaborate what are the differences scenarios apply between 1.
